Why is Visual Studio 2010 reading project files continously? - visual-studio-2010

I turned process monitoring on and I noticed that vs 2010 doesn't stand still, it continuously reads the project files in the solution. Wtf?
I have this solution that progressively becomes slower and slower to the point where when I type in the C# editor the letters appear a few seconds later.
Below there is some info about the environment:
Is there anything I can do? And I am using TFS.

After more usage, I noticed that it has to do with Resharper and running multiple instances of Visual Studio. As soon as I start having 3 or more instances vs2010 slows down. I also reported this issue to the Resharper folks.
Without resharper the ide was fast - I haven't tried though running multiple instances without resharper.
Since I love resharper I now use only one instance of vs 2010 and open others only when I need them and close them as soon as I don't need them.

VS2012 crashes every time I try to copy text

This has become a major problem as I cannot copy any text in the IDE. Every time I try to do so VS2012 crashes. A Google search hasn't turned up anything.
I do still have VS2010 installed - don't if that's the problem. Has anyone come across this? Any solutions? Advice (not copying does not qualify as advice or an answer)? :) Thanks.

Cannot install VS2010 SP1

I believe this falls under the "software tools" requirement. :)
I have tried to install VS2010 SP1 twice. Both times, it installed successfully, but when I open up VS2010, it still says RTMLDR.
I'm just trying to do this so I can install the WP 7.1 SDK, but when I try to do this after "installing" SP1, the SDK installer says that I need SP1.
I did some searching online, but have only found information regarding actually errors during the installation.
Here's the info in the dialog:

I looked at Add/Remove programs and didn't actually see SP1 there.
I have disabled Indent Guides, PowerCommands, Productivity Power Tools, an VSCommands 2010, since I know I've updated to SP1 on another system that had .NETMF 4.1 and WiX. Then I reinstalled SP1 and it's still coming up as RTM. I looked for the KB numbers in "uninstall an update", and sure enough, they are not there.
I then uninstalled .NETMF 4.1 and WiX 3.5 and that didn't help either. I then did a repair on my VS2010 installation -- no luck. And now I've just uninstalled and reinstalled VS2010, and I still cannot get SP1 installed. Once again, no errors are reported after installation.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
